Rod

I used To call them rods because my dad called them poles. We all are semi-jerks when teens. Just had to be a contrarian. Now I use either. He has been gone 7 months now I would give almost anything to learn one more thing from him.

Funny question Dave. I can just see you sitting in front of the new computer, bored to tears by the lack of fish, ruminating on the terminology of fishing gear.

Rods

Rods, it's just what I have called them the most. Sometimes I'll say poles though, it's not a true science.
